Herb. of both, *L. angularis* and *L. lanata* can be viewed in KEW, there is one *L. eriostoma* var. *lanata* too. If I am to select one id for this species, I would rather stress on leaves, specially leaf margin which is crenate here. Another feature of leaves here it is somewhat ovate-oblong. Another feature is number of nerves in the middle pic. These leaf features are unlike other threads of *L. lanata*, *L. mollissima*, *L. angularis*. Number of flowers in whorl is significantly greater.....
My personal view is - it is probably *L. lanata* Benth. as in http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K001115013 Thank you Regards surajit koley a *non-botanist* member of efloraofIndia google group On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM, J.M.
